Springfield, MA Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers

A residential treatment program means a patient gets checked into a rehab facility for a specific length of time, which is typically anywhere from 30 to 90 days. Many who enter residential treatment will first require detox, but that isn’t true for everyone. Different residential programs offer different options, but most consist of recovery education, lectures, meetings, group counseling and medical monitoring. Find a residential program in Springfield that works for you.

Partial hospitalization programs, or PHPs, can be the next step in treatment for those who have gone through an inpatient program and are planning for a long-term recovery program. PHPs may include group counseling, individual counseling and recovery education. Someone attending a PHP will live at their home or in another stable environment while going to the treatment center for multiple hours every day to participate in recovery treatment. In addition to being used as one part of a longer recovery program, partial hospitalization may be right for those looking for a less intense program. If this sounds like the right option for you, you can find a treatment facility in Springfield that offers partial hospitalization.

Outpatient programs are another possible step down for those in long-term treatment who have completed residential and partial hospitalization programs. Additionally, outpatient care may be a good choice for someone with a short history of substance use, or anyone looking for a less intense experience. Outpatient programs usually will have their patients living at home or in another safe environment, such as a halfway house, while attending sessions a few times per week. Outpatient sessions usually include group therapy, recovery education or other types of counseling. Springfield offers multiple different options for people seeking outpatient treatment.

Al-Anon and Nar-Anon Meetings

Al-Anon was originally founded by the wife of AA co-founder Bill Wilson as a way for families and loved ones of users to find help and a way to their own recovery. Nar-Anon was created later, after Narcotic Anonymous was introduced, and serves the same purpose for the families of those struggling with drug use. These meetings offer the family members, spouses, children and loved ones of those struggling with substance use disorders a place to come together to share experiences and work on their own recovery. If you have a family member or loved one struggling with drug or alcohol use, then Nar-Anon and Al-Anon could be a good fit for you. Springfield has both Al-Anon and Nar-Anon meetings in the city:
